00:24So eight weeks ago, agents from ATF,
00:28Marshal Service, DEA, FBI, Homeland Security,
00:34and also, of course, St. Louis Metro Police Department
00:37surged in the city with a united purpose.
00:40We're going to work side-by-side, state, local, federal,
00:44to target violent crime, guns, drugs,
00:47and all sorts of other violent behavior occurring in the city of St. Louis.
00:53Through Operation Show Me Justice,
00:55the teams have arrested 435 individuals
00:58for drug crimes, firearm crimes, other crimes.
01:03That includes 412 outstanding warrant arrests.
01:07So most of these individuals already had outstanding warrants for arrests.
01:11Many of them have multiple.
01:12I heard of a guy who had seven outstanding warrants who was just picked up.
01:16So these are people who've been wanted for a long time.
01:18A lot of them are still operating in their neighborhoods, well, until now,
01:21because now they've been arrested and taken off the streets.
01:2480 kilos of drugs, 166 illegal firearms,
01:28there were six machine gun conversion devices,
01:30and over a million dollars in currency seized.
01:34So there are people watching right now.
01:36There may be people in this room who,
01:39because of the work that's been done over the last two months,
01:42as it's been announced for this year.
01:42I wanted to add,
01:42but we can use the back of lower
